The brand-new Center for Pain Management in Sartell will host an open house from 4:30-7:30 p.m. Monday, July 26, and all area residents are welcome to attend.
There will be a ribbon-cutting ceremony and hors d’oeuvres served throughout the event. The new building, built by Nor-Son Construction, is located at 804 23rd St. S. just off Pinecone Road S. and near the Sta-Fit gym. For several years, the Center for Pain Management was located on Connecticut Avenue within the Sartell Medical Campus area.
There are also branch clinics of Center for Pain Management in Alexandria, Baxter and Bemidji.
The Center provides interventional treatment for acute and chronic pain of all kinds, including cancer pain. Its mission is to minimize pain and suffering while improving the quality of life, increasing in function and helping people regain control over their lives.
All treatments are planned with scrupulous attention to the unique needs and goals of each client.
The staff includes four physicians and five physician assistants and nurse practitioners. Some of the kinds of pain they treat are headaches, whiplash injuries, diabetic neuropathy, herniated discs, shingles and spinal fractures.
The staff of the Center also provides pain treatments for several hospitals, including the St. Cloud Hospital.
